Unfortunately, your son applied to the reach UC’s with a 2050 SAT in an extremely competitive year so essays were big make or break decision-makers.

This year was really strange in how they admitted kids. Students with almost perfect scores didn’t get in; at our local HS, we were really surprised at who got in and where.

I’m surprised that LA didn’t offer him a spot. They are usually big on swimmers and athletes; did his high school coaches help at all? Usually, the coaches spotlight the incoming freshman. If your child was All-American, (I’m assuming CIF) I think UCLA made a mistake.
